If I...
Over the seven day period, I noticed that;
I have almost the same dinner every day, same with lunch;
I am active for around the same period of time, mostly everyday;
I have the same, small breakfast every morning;
I don’t drink a lot of water;
I ate mostly at dinner (6:45 pm);
I don’t have much energy, until I eat lunch.
do a variety of activities, then I wouldn’t get bored and bail easily.
have a larger breakfast, then I would have more energy throughout the day.

6. Observations Over the seven day period, I noticed;
having a larger breakfast, gave me more energy throughout the day;
drinking more water made me stay hydrated;
being involved in a different activity, every other day, made me feel less bored, and made it harder or me to bail on the activity.

7. Conclusions I can come to the conclusion that;
I eat from all the food groups, everyday, but I don’t eat enough of a few food groups;
I am active everyday, but I do not meet the daily need of exercise;
having a large breakfast, every morning, gives me more energy throughout the day;
I don’t ever get my daily need of water;
I eat most at dinner, which is at 6:45 pm everyday;
I am most active at 7:30 pm- 8:00 pm.

8. Recommendations I would recommend to other 12 and 13 year olds that;
when being active, play something fun so you have fun and get your daily need of exercise;
even when you’re in a rush to go to school, and even if you’re not in the mood to eat breakfast, eat something so you have energy throughout the day;
try to get at least 1 hour of activity each day;
when you’re eating, try to get each food group in your meal.
